    Even the Nvidia graphics card sentiment is becoming outdated. There have been sizeable improvements in their drivers over the past couple years.

      Correct. I’ve been rocking their open source driver on Wayland for about a year now, pretty smooth experience.

      Though sleep is still a neverending struggle.

        You’ve been rocking it for what? Does it support the DLSS feature set now along with HDR and VRR? I mean, it sure did show me a desktop for the few days I spent trying to get a clean, working install of the proprietary driver, but I wasn’t under the impression that I’d have feature parity without doing that.

        Yeah, I was having trouble with sleep, and kwin compositing (KDE), so I switched to proprietary drivers and X11, its working pretty well.

      In the last twenty years, I’ve pretty much only had nVidia hardware for graphics with very few issues.

      Of course that wasn’t in laptops. Having a GPU in a laptop is asking for trouble anyway in my opinion.
